woke up on tuesday with the sun and suspicions of deeds

committed monday, just for fun, but the whistle of reeds

made me remember, triggering this hollow feeling she

rolled over slowly, started in to peeling back the three

last words that you had said

they started running around my head



it's as far as you make it

i give you mine and you take it

and i let you



forgiven wednesday for the lies but concealing the pain

in telling you, i surmised, i had nothing to gain

my eyes revealed it, but you would not accuse me of sin

her tender touches rolled over me in places you've been

and i could not help myself

now i understand how you felt



it's as far as you make it

i give you mine and you take it

and i let you



"it's just a shade of meaning," is what you said

just like the painting hanging over the bed

take it off the wall, don't want to see it all

reminding me of my mistakes again



i can see her but she wants to be a drifter and i

try to keep her, tell her i was such a misfit but she

sees right through me, hearing through the thicket the train

take off my glasses and handed her the ticket the rain

falls from my eyes again

i hear it pulling around the bend



it's as far as you make it

i give you mine and you take it

and i let you



it's as far as you make it

i give you mine and you take it

don't come to me if you break it

and i let you
